Fish Titties

They clearly went out of touch with the characters we got so familiar with in the first game. SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT Joel would never walk into such a trap. The Joel I know would have seen this coming from a mile away. If you wish to kill the character, go ahead. That is not my problem. Nor is playing a female character, because I promise I like Ellie too. I understand that the writers needed/wanted to kill Joel. But this was executed horrendously. Walking into a trap that he would sniff out from a mile away, going out with a whimper, and ultimately for nothing, because the end of the story doesn't even wrap up. It's the same thing the Star Wars franchise did to Luke Skywalker, and the fact that I have to witness that happen once again to my most beloved characters is disappointing and upsetting. We are also forced to play as a character we hate for a significant amount of time in-game. They did this completely backwards, and I'm glad I didn't buy this game. I know Naughty Dog will either delete this review or call everyone who dislikes this game a misogynistic pig but hear my words now. If you can't create a story that is satisfying and captivating, you should not be writing stories. This is neither and completely throws out all character development and character tendencies to shoehorn in a rough skeleton of a story. To me, this game was a bad fanfiction and the story ended at the end of the masterfully crafted first game.
